Quote:First off, the NFL is a professional sports entertainment organization who specializes in football. We, the consumers of this 'entertainment', have the liberty to patronize it (and be dubbed 'fans') or not. However, we do not in any way 'owe' a professional team our 'loyalty'. Save that for the amateur sports in the schools. The 'professional' athletes play for pay... big pay.... bigger than almost all of our pay checks unless you're a celebrity 'star' or the like. 

 

As with any payed professional, a certain degree of high level competency is expected to be deserving of our patronizing it. If you think the Jags have not been holding up their part as a professional football team for far too long, then don't patronize them. It's really as simple as that. To suggest we owe a professional sports team our 'allegiance' borders on the absurd and suggests that such an attitude is the result of lots of psychological 'conditioning' from various sources.

 

To proclaim allegiance to an entertainment entity that fails to satisfy is illogical. 

This is unreal.  While it is true the revenue helps the city of Jacksonville.  And it is indeed entertainment.  The NFL is the equivalent of the world cup in other countries.  It is America's past time.  And is still a business.   Being Khan is, in fact a business man.  A product with no marketability.  Will fail. A product with no quality won't sell.  It is a competitive game not a concert.  This happens over many Sundays.  

 

You claiming just entertainment.  Let's take music for example.  If you buy an album and go to a show based on the album.   And their live show stinks? Would you go see them again and again?   And the following year have an even better album and say they improved musically.  But only got a better drummer.  Do you still follow the tour?  And then the following have a better lead and drummer but their  new bass guitarist is worse than the one before do you still believe? 

 

This has been over 8 years straight of empty promises.  And say well they owe you nothing?   Did you lose thousands on them for a poor product?  nope?  Just a keyboard guy with a fancy opinion.   I have spent thousands on merchandise alone plus subscriptions and tickets etc.   So to say all of us are ungrateful for 8 plus years can't break even?  You, my friend are an absolute joke.  And probably a troll. 

 

Cause to post here all the time every year.  And to be lied too and sales pitches.  Yet keeps getting worse is not cool.  And not an honor or a privilege. Other than the revenue to the city of Jacksonville.  

 

In business have to have a successful product to stay in business.  We don't,  not even close.   And just like a shiny new sport car with great graphics.  If the thing hardly runs.  What does it matter it has shiny paint and looks flawless?
